Technology and Young Children

Recall the preschools you have visited and the DVD program you viewed last week that featured Robert Recio’s preschool classroom. Consider all that you have observed about how computers?combined with well-chosen software?can be a valuable resource for building early literacy skills. As early childhood professionals work with families to support literacy learning, it is critically important that they select appropriate software and online resources for preschool children to use at home. This week’s readings on technology and young children provide guidance on using computers in developmentally appropriate ways.

Review the three technology-related articles in the Learning Resources this week. Also visit at least one recommended technology website listed under the Optional Resources to look for additional information and insights you would share with preschool families.

By Day 3:

Post your responses to the following:

Explain how you would recommend that a family with a preschool-age child use a computer as a developmentally appropriate learning resource to support early literacy at home. Cite references to support your views.

Explain a technology-related caution that you would pass along to the family, and cite your reasoning and source(s).

The redesigned coursework need to be a representation of your mastery of the MAED program learning outcomes 5 and 7. This assignment will be uploaded to the course for evaluation and to your electronic portfolio (Pathbrite). If you do not have previous projects to use in this assignment, please contact your instructor for guidelines on how to proceed. As needed, refer to the MAED Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) list.

Conflict Management and Diversity

1. Conflict can be beneficial to organizations, stimulating cohesiveness and creativity. Of course, it can have the opposite effect. Provide any examples of your experience with conflict. Read the article in the Webliography entitled: Fight for What’s Right: Ten Tips to Encourage Meaningful Conflict. Also, after reviewing the chapter, list the positiveresults that can come from organizational conflict.

2. Cultural sensitivity is crucial to local and global success. It is very difficult to be aware of and sensitive to issues and traditions we are ignorant about. How can we decrease our own ignorance? Can we be proactive about it, or do we just have to wait until someone alerts us that we are being insensitive?

System Reference Guide – Diagramming

You have been called upon to put together some reference materials for other groups to follow, since up until now they have not created any formal architectural documents. As a continuation from Week Two, continue to create a System Reference Guide for your employer.
For this week’s assignment, create several software architecture diagrams for your company’s online sales website. The website is to present a shopping cart system with which users can browse an online catalog and place orders for merchandise. The system also allows users to view previous orders, which is useful for tracking shipping for recent orders and for re-ordering items in the future.
Produce the following three diagrams:
To present a static model of the system, create a diagram for a layered architecture view of the system.
Using the components you identified in your layered view of the system, create an activity diagram that shows how a customer would place an order.
Create a client/server diagram to model the physical view of the system.
